Finally, add the structure of the paper. Add following papers: a) An Internet of Things Approach for Water Efficiency: A Case Study of the Beverage Factory b) Improving Water Efficiency in the Beverage Industry with the Internet of Things 

3) Materials and Methods: This section needs restructuring and more focus on data collection and techniques for data collection.

4) Results and discussion section - Section 3.1 - Authors need to define which traditional devices  and traditional methods are they comparing it against.
